Jan Petrykowski
When your emotions feel confusing or far away — let’s find the clarity underneath.
Do you experience strong emotions but feel confused about where they come from? Or perhaps you feel numb when you think you should feel something? Maybe your emotions feel misaligned with who you are, and you want clarity or change.
I take an exploratory, experiential approach to therapy, helping you better understand your inner world — your emotions, needs, and patterns — so that we can uncover a meaningful and authentic path forward.
Over time, your emotions begin to feel more aligned with your values and sense of self, and you gain clarity about who you are and what you want from your life.
You might be a good fit if…
- You feel strong emotions but are confused about where they come from.
- You sometimes feel numb when you think you should feel something.
- Your emotions feel misaligned with who you are, and you want clarity or change.

Outside of session
I’m deeply fascinated by the mind. I keep a daily meditation practice, take part in a cognitive science book club, and read widely across neuroscience, psychology, and philosophy.
I’m a Yorkville University student in the final stage of completing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology. While newer to formal clinical practice, I bring experience supporting individuals in distress as a helpline volunteer with the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto. I’ve also worked as a caregiver supporting elderly individuals and people with disabilities in therapeutic, social, and daily living contexts, and I’ve supported people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, loneliness, and major life transitions — approaching therapy with curiosity, care, and a deep respect for each person’s inner world. Prior to psychotherapy, I worked in leadership roles in fast-paced hospitality environments, where I developed strong skills in communication, emotional attunement, and navigating complex interpersonal dynamics.
